Does the WG186.9 come with a battery and charger?

No. The .9 suffix marks the bare-tool version, so it ships without a battery or charger. You need Worx Power Share 40V batteries and a charger, or a kit version.

What attachments fit this trimmer?

The Driveshare head accepts Worx 40V hedge trimmer, brush cutter, pole saw and edger attachments, sold separately. They share the same motor unit.

How does it compare with a 20V cordless trimmer?

It has a wider 15-inch cut and more power, and it accepts attachments. In return it is heavier and bulkier, so a 20V trimmer is easier for small lawns and light edging.

What line does it use?

It takes 0.095-inch trimmer line on a bump-feed head, with 20 feet of line supplied. Standard replacement line of that diameter works.

Is it a replacement for a gas trimmer?

For most home and large-property trimming it is close, with no fumes or pull-starting. Very heavy brush clearing still favors a dedicated gas or high-power brush cutter.

Can I use my existing Worx 40V batteries?

Yes. It runs on the Worx Power Share 40V platform, so batteries from other Worx 40V tools fit. Two high-capacity packs give the strongest performance.

About the Worx Nitro WG186.9 String Trimmer 40 V Solo

The Worx Nitro WG186 40V Power Share Cordless Attachment-Capable Driveshare 15” String Trimmer was designed to give any lawn or property professional-looking landscaping results. Driveshare is the Worx system of lawncare attachments (sold separately) that turn your String Trimmer into a Hedge Trimmer, Brush Cutter, Pole Saw, or an Edger. Save money and space by purchasing the Driveshare system rather than 5 separate tools. You gain the capability of an entire lawncare detailing system when you start using Driveshare. But what truly sets the Nitro 40V String Trimmer apart from your average battery-operated trimmer is its gas-like performance. This isn’t your standard 20V cordless trimmer. We’ve doubled its potential, and when paired with two high-capacity Power Share PRO batteries, you’ll enjoy power comparable to gas-powered trimmers without the expense, fumes, or mess. The cutting line length is 20 ft., and the line diameter is 0.095 in. The specs of this String Trimmer are comparable with commercial-grade outdoor power tools. The Driveshare attachment trimmer system was engineered to provide functionality that’s perfect for property owners with larger, more complex lawns.
